Hello!

We want to first thank you for taking the time to get to know us. While we do not know the exact circumstance that brought you to Gladney, we are glad you are here. We understand there are many difficult choices ahead on your journey. Our hope for you through this process is to find peace, hope and understanding, whether you decided to parent or create an adoption plan.

As we start this adoption journey, we are also filled with so many different emotions. We are excited for this new chapter in our lives and the possibility of becoming parents, but we would be lying if we didn't say there is still a little anxiety in the unknown. What we do know is that we are ready to bring a child into our home. Should you choose us as adoptive parents, know that our hearts and our home are open to you and your family. No matter where this journey may take you, know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

With love, Mary and Andrew

We want to thank you for taking the time to get to know us. Our names are Michael and Shannon. We have an amazing teenage son named Owen, but we have been wanting to grow our family for many years now. I, Shannon, was adopted from Edna Gladney as an infant to a wonderful and nurturing family making adoption an option we have always been interested in exploring. After years of unsuccessful fertility treatments, we decided that adoption was the best option to grow our family. The moment we stepped out of the Gladney orientation, we were both filled with emotions and tears of joy to finally know that we were making the right choice for our family to adopt through Gladney. We want you to know that our hearts are with you during this process and we understand that this must be a hard time for you filled with many emotions. We hope that maybe getting to know us a little better might make you feel more comfortable, if in fact you decide to choose adoption as the plan for your child. If selected as adoptive parents, we promise to open our hearts and home to raise the child in a nurturing and loving environment. We know that you want the best life possible for your child, and we value your courage to consider adoption as a possible plan. No matter what decision you choose, we wish you the very best and hope you have a life filled with love and happiness.

With love,

Shannon, Michael, and Owen

Dear Expectant Parent(s) -

We understand that the decision you are considering can be very overwhelming and scary, but we also believe it is extremely brave and courageous. Our family is excited and ready to grow and we are honored that you might become part of this journey.

We both grew up with loving and supportive families who provided a fun childhood full of cherished memories. Our marriage is full of love, commitment and adventure and we are looking forward to becoming parents ourselves and creating the same opportunity for our future children!
